The superintendent of Pembina Trails school division announces that two students were on board the Iranian plane that took many Canadian lives earlier this week.

Pembina Trails school division found out two students were listed as passengers on flight PS752. The Ukraine International Airline Jet crashed near Tehran on Wednesday, January 8, 2020. 

The students were in grades five and six and attended separate schools. Relatives of the students are mourning their losses.

Pembina Trails says their social workers and psychologists are working diligently to support the needs of families, students, and staff. 

Out of respect for the families, Pembina Trails will not be sharing any further details on the students.
